Early Learners Highlights!
March 17, 2023
Dear Early Learners Families,
Our Early Learners had a busy week exploring Mexico and participating in St. Patrick's Day activities. Please keep reading to see what exciting things happened in our classrooms this week.
Have a wonderful weekend,

WHAT'S HAPPENING IN EARLY LEARNERS?
This week our Early Learners took a flight to Mexico! We learned all about airplanes and travel. In dramatic play the kiddos experienced going to a pretend airport, getting a passport, plane ticket, and boarding a plane! The children took turns playing various roles such as pilot, co-pilot, passenger, and flight attendant! Art exploration included looking at Mexican tiles called Talavera and we learned about how these tiles are made. We then created our own versions of the tiles to add some festive flare to our classrooms! The classes also learned about the Mexican flag and painted their own flags! We ended the week with some mysterious Leprechaun findings! Green footprints and our sensory tables water magically became green! Stay tuned for some Friday fun posted on each classroom Seesaw!
Next week we will continue our class trips to Mexico and conclude the unit with a Fiesta!
Speech with Ms. Nathanson
This week in speech group we played St. Patrick's day themed bingo. Each box on the bingo card was a different picture related to St. Patrick's day. While playing the game, the students were given different rhymes and descriptions and they had to guess the picture. They had a lot of fun while also working on expanding their vocabulary.
